Yosemite Falls is actually three separate cascades, but together they make one of the tallest falls in North America and the fifth highest in the world, with a drop of 2,425 feet. It's breathtaking and known the world over, meaning the easy one-mile loop trail to the lower falls is one of the most crowded in the park. If you're hikers, take in the full majesty of Yosemite Falls without the crowds by tackling the 7.2-mile round-trip hike to the upper falls on one of the most historic trails in the park, built between 1873 and 1877.
